Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion "Friday document dumps are a routine political tactic, but Obama's tactic of dropping political bombshells just as he is leaving town is a bit much."
Another Friday, Another Document Dump From June 18, 2010: "Every Friday for the last three weeks the Clinton Library has released tens of thousands of documents from Obama nominee Elena Kagan's time in the Clinton White House. Today's batch was no different: 80,000 plus were released today just before 5 pm, and initial reviews are still in progress."

The Left is in Full Retreat
Heritage "Politico reports: “Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. … The presentation also concedes that the fiscal and economic arguments that were the White House’s first and most aggressive sales pitch have essentially failed.” "....
"As satisfying as it is to see Obamacare’s supporters come to terms with the failure of their grand plan, it is not enough for conservatives to just say “no.” Conservatives must have real plans for reform if the American people choose to empower them. The Heritage Foundation’s Solutions for America chapter on Getting Health Care Reform Right recommends:"...

Moderate Republicans Key to Stopping Lame-Duck Threat
Pajamas Media "Last week the House of Representatives confirmed they fully intend to go along with Harry Reid’s plan to force a slate of far-left legislation on the country in a lame-duck session, when Rep. Tom Price forced a vote on the issue. Only six Democrats voted against allowing major policy changes in a lame-duck session.
"Fortunately, there are three key strategies that can stop the lame-duck threat: ..."

Roger Ebert: Calls Sarah Palin Hitler, Says America Is At Fault for GZ Mosque Troubles
"I won’t be the first or the last to relate to this left-wing hack that he should stick with the fluff of movies and leave the real thinking to those more equipped for the effort."
Heckuva job, Mr. President.
Fred Barnes "Recovery summer, opposition to Arizona’s immigration law, negative campaigning, and intervention in the Ground Zero mosque dispute—call them Obama’s Four Disasters. As policy, they’re questionable. As political exercises, they’re losers. As clues about Obama, they’re evidence he’s lost his political knack.
"What was Obama thinking? These weren’t initiatives taken suddenly. They were carefully thought out and plotted, no doubt in expectation the president would gain politically and so would Democratic candidates. Whatever calculations the White House made, they were faulty."....
"Obama is not one to hold his tongue, no matter what the subject. He once again took the position of the elites against that of most Americans." (Emphasis gleefully added.)

Imam Rauf's Newly Discovered Explosive Audio Tapes (Updated)
Atlas Shrugs "The mosque "is going to be a magnet for radicals." Emerson is not opposed to the building of mosques. He is "opposed to the building of radical mosques." ......"Unfortunately 80% of the mosques in the United States are controlled by the Wahhabists. That's the reality. No one wants to admit it. They're the ones that attract terrorists.""

MUSLIM IS THE NEW CODE FOR RACISM
Boortz "Well who knew that we were still adding to this list? In the wake of this discussion over the Ground Zero Victory mosque, Obama faith has come into question again. One out of every five Americans believe Obama to be a Muslim. Well now, according to MSNBC, calling Barack Obama a Muslim is a backdoor way of calling him the "N-word." That's right .. even talking about Barack Obama and Islam in the same conversation is the latest way of implying that you really don't like Barack Obama because he is black."
Lenin's 'useful idiots' in the mosque debate "On Fox,liberal analyst Ellis Henican, dripping with elitism and condescension, states that people in his Manhattan neighborhood , near Ground Zero , generally have no problem with the Mosque (clearly sophisticates all) , while those in Idaho, no-doubt , oppose it by 99% (clearly rubes to the core). Yet, I would bet that the proportion of people in Idaho who went down and volunteered for military service after 9/11, or served in Afghanistan or Iraq , was a tad higher than the "best and brightest" living amongst old Ellis."
Obama was wrong to make the mosque issue a religious freedom issue "According to FBI estimates , 10 % of the mosques in the United States are associated with radical Jihadist ideology. Others estimate that 80% of mosques are dominated by the extremist Wahhabi ideology promoted by Saudi Arabia. ....
"President Obama could have explained that this is obviously not an issue of religious freedom. He could have defended America, its reputation, institutions and values. Instead, he reinforced the view that America is bigoted. For that, President Obama owes every American an apology" Moshe Dann
Gingrich: No Mosque at Ground Zero "Building this structure on the edge of the battlefield created by radical Islamists is not a celebration of religious pluralism and mutual tolerance; it is a political statement of shocking arrogance and hypocrisy.
"We need to have the moral courage to denounce it. It is simply grotesque to erect a mosque at the site of the most visible and powerful symbol of the horrible consequences of radical Islamist ideology. Well-meaning Muslims, with common human sensitivity to the victims’ families, realize they have plenty of other places to gather and worship. But for radical Islamists, the mosque would become an icon of triumph, encouraging them in their challenge to our civilization." Newt Gingrich

Why Do Feminists Attack Sarah and Not Sharia?
Doug Giles "Given Islam’s enslavement of women and the Sharia erection of the Cordoba Initiative’s chief con man, Abdul Rauf, you’d think N.O.W. and their ilk would now be raising more Cain about this Ground Zero Mosque than they are about Sarah Palin." Mr. Giles is father of Hannah Giles, of the ACORN sting.
The China challenge
Peter Brookes "Of particular concern to our Navy is China's development of an anti-ship ballistic missile with a maneuverable warhead and range of more than 1,000 miles. This DF-21 variant is a "carrier-buster" and a threat our navy has never faced. Beijing's robust building program has made it the largest naval force in Asia, outstripping the likes of Japan and South Korea, the region's other major military powers."Now, the Defense Department tells us, China has an aircraft-carrier R&D program under way. Beijing could start building its own carrier by the end of 2010, capable of handling fixed-wing aircraft.
"When that ship hits the water, we'll no longer be the only flattop navy in the "Pac." " Peter Brookes is a senior fellow for national security affairs at the Heritage Foundation. He’s also a member of the congressional US-China Commission and a doctoral candidate at Georgetown University. Previously, he served as a deputy assistant secretary of defense, Capitol Hill staffer, CIA officer, State Department official and naval officer.
Stimulus and Health Care Have Democrats on Defensive
Michael Barone "Do say: "The law is not perfect, but it does good things and helps many people. Now we'll work to improve it." (emphasis theirs)
"This amounts to an abandonment of the claims that the Obama Democrats have been making about the health care bill they jammed through five months ago. It's an admission that they messed up when they had supermajorities and will do better when they have fewer votes. It's a retreat from framing the issue as support versus oppose to revise versus repeal."

America: Still Talking About Race
Joseph C. Phillips "This administration has attempted to marginalize its opponents by labeling them as racists; movements have been slandered with charges of racism, and principled disagreement is suddenly seen as evidence of bigotry. It all seems a bit surreal. As a nation, we seem to be talking about race now, more than we have in a very long time. As far as leading this nation into a post racial era, the election of Barack Obama can only be seen as a bust." Joseph C. Phillips is the author of “He Talk Like A White Boy” available wherever books are sold.
